LAFARGE <br />NORTH AMERICA / <br />Construction Materials r/ <br />April 28, 2005 <br /> <br />Mr. Larry Oehler <br />Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Re: Response to Inspection Report t/ <br />Hartman Pit -Mine ID# M-1997-087 <br /> <br />''~' : `L . Lu'~J <br />,. . <br />Dear Mr. Oehler, <br />Lafarge has received and reviewed your inspection report that followed your inspection of <br />Lafarge's Hartman Pit on 2-16-05./As we discussed by telephone on 4-12-05, Lafarge is <br />submitting this letter in response to the items noted as potential problems that required corrective <br />action. <br />_ _L, _The.identification sign at the mine entrance does not show that a permit was issued.by the.. _ <br />Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board and it does not show the permit number. <br />A sign that shows MLRB Permit No. M-1997-087 has been posted at the pit. <br />2. There is not enough salvaged topsail to complete reclamation on a signifrcant portion df <br />the affected area. <br />As observed during the inspection, the majority of the area disturbed by mining has had <br />the topsoil replaced. Lafarge estimates that approximately 6 acres of disturbed area <br />remain that have not been covered with topsoil. The amount of topsoil required to cover <br />this area at a thickness of 4" is 3226 yards of soil. There are two remaining stockpiles of <br />salvaged topsoil remaining on the property. The amount of material remaining in these <br />stockpiles is estimated at 3800 cubic yards. Lafarge believes that adequate topsoil has <br />been salvaged to provide an adequate plant growth medium for the remaining disturbed <br />areas. Attached are photos of the two remaining stockpiles of topsoil. <br />We trust these responses adequately address the concerns noted in the inspection report. If you <br />have any questions regarding the Hartman Pit, or ifyou would like to observe the topsoil <br />stockpiles, please do not hesitate to contact me at 303-657-4118 at yaur earliest convenience. <br />Thank you. <br />Sincerel /f~~ <br />Phillip J.
